Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Vero Beach, FL

Are you or your child struggling with stress and worry? Do you find your emotions overwhelming? When anxiety and depression get out of control, it takes a toll on every aspect of life. I specialize in Trauma and PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Grief, Bipolar, and Mood Disorders. Let us work together to develop a plan to get you relief and feeling better.

I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.

While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.

One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that taking even small steps towards addressing your mental health can be life changing. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. I have been working in the mental health field since 2014, Licensed since 2022. Currently my focus is addressing anxiety related symptoms for children ages 7 to adults, and ADHD related symptoms and behaviors for children ages 7 to adults.

I believe that true healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. As a dual-board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience, my passion is delivering compassionate, individualized care that treats you as a whole person—not just a list of symptoms.

Mental health challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and OCD can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep empathy. Together, we will combine evidence-based treatments with a personalized plan tailored specifically to your unique life, goals, and well-being. My focus is to help you build resilience, gain clarity, and walk away with practical tools for lasting, meaningful progress. Let’s work together to empower your total well-being.
